Ken Still

Kenneth Allan Still was an American professional golfer who played on both the PGA Tour and the Senior PGA Tour.

Early life

In 1935, Still was born in Tacoma, Washington.

In 1953, Still turned professional. Still won three PGA Tour events. In 1969, he won the Florida Citrus Open Invitational in Orlando in the spring and the Greater Milwaukee Open in the summer.
Still took part in the 1969 Ryder Cup matches. While playing a match with Dave Hill against Brian Huggett and Bernard Gallacher, Still and Hill lost a hole after Hill putted out of turn. While upset with what took place, Hill later said "well we won. So let's forget about it." In the final singles encounter Jack Nicklaus had Tony Jacklin pick up a missable putt so the match would end in a 16-16 tie.
Still had two top-10 finishes in major championships during his career: a 5th-place finish at the 1970 U.S. Open, and a T-6 at The Masters in 1971. After reaching the age of 50 in 1985, he began play on the Senior PGA Tour and continued to play in this venue until the late 1990s.

Still lived in Fircrest, Washington during his career.
In 1964, Still was introduced to Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Sandy Koufax at Wrigley Field; the two developed a close friendship and Koufax was later one of two best mans at Still's wedding to Linda Evans. After Still died on March 19, 2017, Koufax was an honorary pallbearer at his funeral.

February 12, his birthday, is recognized as Ken Still Day in his hometown of Fircrest, Washington.
In 1995, Still was elected to the Pacific Northwest Section PGA Hall of Fame.
